Answer:

Explanation:

An understatement is an utterance that depicts something in a manner that gives it less importance, seriousness, makes it less bad, etc. than it actually is. In this example, the speaker makes use of such understatement to minimize the act of women eating children, who later would become mothers themselves.

Answer: alternative B.

Explanation: An understatement is made when less importance is given to a determined situation, in order for the reader be convinced that it's not so aggravating as the habit of eating children is being depicted in it. Also, the situation is even worse due to the fact that the women who were supposed to eat them would also become mothers, implying that their children would be eaten as well.

Choose the predicate nominative in the following sentence.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

c. London Underground

Explanation:

A "predicate nominative" refers to a noun/pronoun that is used to rename the subject of the sentence. It is always found after the linking verb. Remember that it is part of the "predicate" in the sentence.

The predicate in the sentence above is: "was the London Underground." Therefore, the predicate nominative should be found here. As mentioned above, the predicate nominative should follow after a linking verb. The linking verb above is "was." The only noun following it is the "London Underground." It is also used to rename or identify the subject in the sentence, which is the "first subway system in the world." This makes choice c as the answer.
